1,250 parolees behind bars due to housing shortage Steve Mills
Chicago Tribune
State prison officials hold close to 1,250 inmates beyond their release dates every year -- not because they pose a threat to the public but because they cannot find a place to live that parole officers find suitable, according to court papers and interviews. For Illinois taxpayers, the extended stays add as much as $25 million a year in prison costs, compared with the far lower
tab for parole. It’s a practice commonly known as “violating at the door” because guards at one time walked inmates who had completed their sentences to the prison gates, only to return them to their cells for failing to find a suitable home -considered a parole violation. Now, according to prison officials, such dramatic “turnarounds” rarely if ever take place, yet hundreds of inmates continue
to be held every year for months or even years beyond their release dates. They must be set free by the time their terms of parole end, sometimes as long as three years later. The practice, which mostly affects convicted sex offenders, raises a host of concerns, most notably that inmates released only after their parole has ended will miss out on those benefits on their sudden return to the outside world.
Committees chosen for chancellor, athletic director searches Luke Nozicka

The group of people who will select Carbondale’s next chancellor have been chosen. Rehabilitation Institute Director Carl Flowers and psychology Chairwoman Meera Komarraju will serve as co-chairs of the Chancellor Search Advisory Committee–which consists of 18 people–including students, professors, a former state senator and others. Internal and external candidates can apply for the chancellor position. “We want to be very thoughtful about investing time and effort to help identify a good pool across the nation,” SIU President Randy Dunn said in an interview Friday. “That work is under way right now to try to identify some of those individuals who might be good matches to ensure that they’re aware of the position.” The committee will choose as many as four to five finalists, whom will be invited to visit the campus once chosen, Dunn said. The search for a full-time provost won’t begin until a chancellor is appointed.
SIU President Randy Dunn appointed members to a search committee for a new athletic director Monday. Former athletic director Mario Moccia started the same position at his alma mater New Mexico State on Jan. 5. Harold Bardo, former director of the SIU Carbondale Medical and Dental Education Preparatory Program, has been serving as the interim athletic director. He previously said he would not come out of retirement to take the position. The committee will begin searching immediately. Dunn hopes to fill the position this spring.

Finding Ron Dunkel is easy. In the basement of the Student Center is a Craft Shop that has been around for 40 years. Ask the person at the main desk if Ron is in. The answer will likely be, “Yes, check in the wood shop.” Since 1982, Dunkel has worked and taught in the wood shop. When he’s not in the workroom, he’s elsewhere in the Craft Shop tinkering, building or creating. While he may be in a predictable place, what he is doing there is hardly monotonous. Dunkel has created everything from kayaks to picture frames. He said he has assisted countless students with projects. But he does more than create. “I want to inspire people here at the Craft Shop,” Dunkel said. “Inspire them to come up with ideas, inspire them with things we’ve done already.” Dunkel’s excitement not only shapes the minds of those who visit the Craft Shop, but the shop’s physical appearance as well.
@AaronGraff_DE | Daily Egyptian
He oversaw the addition of what he calls the paint bar, which required major renovations to make space. Dunkel said the room now housing the paint bar— formerly a section of the kitchen— contained sinks, conveyor belts and huge transformers. “Food was spilling and cockroaches were jumping all over it so they finally tore that stuff out,” Dunkel said. “We were able to take over that area for more workshops such as metal smithing, stained glass, sewing.” Kara Dunkel, Ron’s wife of nearly 30 years, describes her husband’s idea stream as never-ending. “The man is one ball of fire of inspiration,” Kara said. “He constantly has something going on, and if he doesn’t have a project he’s working on, he’s planning to work on one.” Dunkel’s designs are not aided by a cup of coffee, either. “No caffeine,” he said. “I don’t need the extra energy. I’d lie awake all night, wouldn’t sleep. Too many things, too many ideas come up in my head.”
The Dunkels live on the south side of Carbondale, the same area of town Ron was raised more than 50 years ago. Both of his parents attended SIU, and he rode his bike around campus as a child. From birth until receiving his bachelor’s degree in art from the university, Dunkel remained in Carbondale. This permanence has given him the opportunity to see the university grow and change. He said he likes the way the university has adapted to catering to students more in recent years. Dunkel said as a research institution, it seemed at times students were more of an afterthought, and he appreciates the changes SIU has made. “I like the way we roll out the carpet for the students now, and it should be more that way,” Dunkel said. When Dunkel comes up with new plans, he said he keeps one thought in mind: What do the students need? He has answered that question with various additions to the Craft Shop. Please see DUNKEL · 3

Powerful blizzard forces shutdowns, travel restrictions in Northeast Tina Susman Joseph Tanfani Molly Hennessy-Fiske Los Angeles Times
Snow and powerful winds swept into the Northeast on Monday as a storm predicted to grow into a major blizzard prompted mass transit shutdowns, highway closures, thousands of airline flight cancellations and a ban on driving in New York City and on major roads across the region. The storm began slowly, with light snow falling gently in New York and the surrounding areas. By afternoon, winds had picked up, and the warnings from mayors, governors and emergency officials took on a new urgency. Metal scraped against pavement as plows took to the streets to push fast-accumulating snow off to the side. “Everything we know so far makes clear you cannot underestimate

this storm,” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news briefing, which came on the heels of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement of transit disruptions. In addition to announcing the driving ban in New York City, which was taking effect at 11 p.m., de Blasio said city parks would close at 6 p.m. because of the danger of falling trees and branches. Schools, which were open Monday, were to be closed Tuesday. Cuomo said the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North, which carry tens of thousands of people daily between New York City and its northern and eastern suburbs, probably would be shut down at 11 p.m. New York City’s subways were expected to operate on reduced schedules after about 8 p.m. “This is going to be a blizzard. It is a serious blizzard,” said Cuomo, who joined the governors of New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island

The sewing area of the Craft Shop was invented to help students repair broken backpacks. Dunkel also assisted with the creation of the new bicycle Fixit stations around campus. He said transportation is a key area in which students need aid. He has devised ways to fix and repair items
and Massachusetts in declaring at least partial emergencies in their states. Some counties in Pennsylvania also were under emergency declarations. Across the region, all but essential state employees were being let out of work early to prevent them from being on roads in the evening, when the storm was expected to pick up strength. “Stay home if you can,” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said, or only go out in “an absolute emergency or necessity.” Thousands of flights into and out of Northeastern airports, from Boston to Philadelphia, were canceled through Tuesday. Stores quickly sold out of items including milk and eggs and shovels and rock salt. “You should have seen the shovels we had lined up there,” said Linda Harris, a store greeter at a Lowe’s in South Philadelphia, as she pointed to a nearly empty

wall. “You got to get up early in the morning. They started coming in at 7.” The only supplies left by late morning were a few oversized shovels, a dwindling pile of salt and one green disc-shaped snow sled. Philadelphia was not expected to get anywhere near the snowfall totals predicted for New York, but forecasters kept people anxious. “We know we’re going to get something,” said Frank Cassel. “We just don’t know what.” To the north and east, though, there was no question what was to come: anywhere from 1 to 3 feet of snow, along with wind gusts of 40 to 70 mph. The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning from southeastern New York and northeastern New Jersey up to northeastern Maine. “It appears many of the major metropolitan areas will be affected anywhere from

The guitar’s veneer was destroyed. Dunkel used the misfortune as a learning opportunity. “From the whole experience, instead of getting too terribly angry with me, he learned that he had to use glues that were water insoluble,” she said.

Philadelphia through New York City and into Boston,” the agency said in a statement. By early afternoon, Penn Station, a major transit hub serving Amtrak, Long Island Rail Road, New Jersey Transit and city subways, was humming with travelers hoping to reach their destinations before the brunt of the storm hit. One of them was Vincent Yeager, who had put in a morning’s work at his office job before heading home early to Hazlet, N.J. He expected to be back to his normal routine by Wednesday. “Everyone always overreacts, thinking it’s going to be the end of the world but it’s really just Mother Nature,” said Yeager. Cuomo said he would decide after a 4 p.m. weather update, whether major highways in New York would be closed to all but emergency vehicles.
Instruments Dunkel made afterward, including a harp for his daughter, were made with better glue. When the Dunkels’ home flooded in 2006, the instruments survived, testament to the quality of his handiwork. “Some people, if their wife had pulled the plug and ruined a beautiful classical guitar, would throw in the towel and just be furious,” Kara said. “Not him. He decided he was going to learn from it. And I certainly learned not to pull the plug on things.”

Alcohol treatment programs see bump at start of new year Tracy Swartz Chicago Tribune
Gyms aren’t the only places that see a membership spike after the holidays. Alexian Brothers Health System, which offers addiction treatment programs in the Chicago area, saw 20 percent more calls about service options in December compared to November, said Carol Hartmann, business development director for Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health. Hartmann attributed the increase to health insurance benefits kicking in Jan. 1 for some people. On the West Coast, the number of people enrolled in the program
‘‘P
geared toward professionals at Promises Treatment Centers in Santa Monica has nearly doubled from 10 people enrolled in the program before the holidays to 19 people total, as of the first full week of January, said Dr. Gregory Skipper, Promises director of professionals health services. “We’re having a boom in our place census-wise,” Skipper said. “I believe the first of the year seems to be resolution time...People sort of re-examine” their habits including alcohol. Government dietary guidelines define moderate alcohol intake as up to one drink per day for women
eople get in denial, and that’s the big problem. Somewhere in there they know it is getting out of control. That’s a probl — Dr. Gregory Skipper Promises director of professional health services
and up to two drinks per day for men. Anything more than that may be a sign of alcohol dependency, though alcohol sensitivity varies among people and the number of drinks is not the only way to decide if someone is addicted to alcohol, experts say. There are three criteria that help determine if someone has become dependent on alcohol loss of control, physical adaptation to alcohol and an increase in consequences because of drinking, said Andrea King, professor and director of the Clinical Addictions Research Laboratory at the University of Chicago. The guidelines come from the manual of mental disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association, a group of more than 36,000 psychiatrists. Loss of control: Some people may find themselves drinking more or for a longer period of
time than they intended, King said. These people may try to set parameters for their drinking and then go beyond these selfimposed limits. Physical adaptation: People who have become dependent on alcohol may notice their drinking has caused physical changes including an increase in tolerance. If they try to stop drinking completely, they may find themselves undergoing symptoms of withdrawal, including headaches, tremors and nausea, King said. Increase in consequences: Drinking may cause or exacerbate psychological or physical problems and yet people still keep drinking. “Alcohol addiction may not look the same from person A to person B but if you have two of these three (criteria), it’s much more likely that you do have an alcohol problem,” said King, who has studied the effects of alcohol in young binge drinkers.
At Promises, Skipper said he generally follows the addiction definition from the American Society of Addiction Medicine, which is similar to King’s definition. The society, which represents more than 3,000 physicians dedicated to improving addiction treatment, defines addiction as a chronic disease characterized by the inability to limit drinking, impairment in control, cravings and a lack of realization that drinking is causing significant personal problems. Skipper said because there is no set amount of alcohol that defines alcohol dependence, it’s difficult for some people to realize they have a drinking problem. “People get in denial, and that’s the big problem. Somewhere in there they know it is getting out of control.” Skipper said. “That’s a problem: Having people decide for themselves” what is too much.

Fall Out Boy continues to evolve with new album Chase Myers
@chasemyers_DE | Daily Egyptian
This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the release of “From Under the Cork Tree” and the rise of a dominant force in modern rock, Fall Out Boy. With singles like “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down” and “Dance, Dance,” the band brought the pop-punk genre some well-deserved radio play. The four-piece, Chicago-based band, formed in 2001, consists of Patrick Stump on guitar and vocals, Pete Wentz on bass, Joe Trohman on lead guitar and Andy Hurley on drums. From the release of their first album “Take This to Your Grave,” a success in the underground poppunk scene in 2003, to the release of their newest record “American Beauty/American Psycho,” we have seen the band adapt and change with the times. Some embrace this change with open arms, others don’t. The band’s sound has definitely changed. Songs like “Grand Theft Autumn” from their earliest album displayed a heavy pop-punk influence, whereas songs like “Young Volcanoes” and “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark” from the album “Save Rock and Roll,” blend into the poprock music scene. The band took a four-year hiatus after the release of their album “Folie á Deux” in 2008, and came back with their new sound in the album “Save Rock and Roll,” in 2013, which earned mixed reviews. When Fall Out Boy rumored the release of a new album in the fall of 2014, many fans and listeners were interested to see if the band would keep evolving, or if they might revert back to their early years. The single “Centuries,” was released Sept. 9, 2014, and gave us a taste of what was brewing on the new album. Despite heavy radio play, it did not stand out as anything different from their previous album. It can be hard to pick out the raw instrumentals behind the electronic beat of the song and the heroic vocal lines from Stump. The vocals really shine in “Centuries,” while the instrumentals are lackluster. When the full album dropped
on Jan. 16, it became evident this was more of a cohesive work of musicianship rather than something just thrown together. The album starts off strong with the song “Irresistible,” which centers around a triumphant horn riff you might find in a Nike commercial showcasing an athlete’s strength. The catchiness of the song continues as Stump gracefully and powerfully attacks the chorus. The second song and title track “American Beauty/American Psycho” sounds completely different and fails to impress. The song is not what you would expect with such a powerful title. The track is all over the place aesthetically which would explain the psycho idea, but it’s almost too much volume thrown at the listener at once. After “Centuries,” the listener starts to capture the range of the album. Fall Out Boy does a great job experimenting with new styles on this record. This is evident in “The Kids Aren’t Alright,” as the instrumentals resemble something you might hear from the band Pheonix. Lyrically, this song is an ode to those who feel unappreciated and overlooked. The fifth song on the album, “Uma Thurman,” stuck out to me, not only because of the oddly humorous title, but also because of the nostalgic, surfer feel of the song. The song’s title refers to the actress Uma Thurman’s dancing skills in the Tarantino classic, “Pulp Fiction,” and keeps your attention with a guitar riff resembling the classic tone of artists like Junior Brown and his “surfing music.” I can see the song “Uma Thurman” doing very well on the Billboard charts if released as a single. It has all the elements of a good pop-rock song with enough uniqueness to please multiple audiences. The album continues with “Jet Pack Blues,” a solid song but nothing special. It captures the new Fall Out Boy sound perfectly with a gritty beat and catchy vocal line, complimented with a peaceful bridge in the middle. The next song “Novocaine” explodes at you with a very heavy, pounding beat and sounds like something Kanye
K ait C onrad West might produce. Stump’s vocal lines also adds some soulful flavor to this song as he flips into his falsetto voice often. The song “Fourth of July,” again, is one of the blend-in songs you might just skip over because it sounds so similar to other Fall Out Boy songs from “Save Rock and Roll.” The end of the album isn’t as strong as I had hoped. The song “Favorite Record,” has a very easy-going tone and draws you in with a guitar riff straight from the 1990s, but the final two songs “Immortals” and “Twin Skeletons (Hotel in NYC)” capture you with a unique intro, but portray the new,
pop-heavy Fall Out Boy. In its entirety, the album could easily be nicknamed “American Success/American Disappointment,” because it has both high and low points. I found myself enjoying the album sporadically in a couple songs but not the whole album, and this is where it differs from older Fall Out Boy albums. Being a product of pop-punk in the early 2000s, it doesn’t get much better than albums like “From Under The Cork Tree” for me. And based on various VEVO comments, others feel the same. However, “American Beauty/ American Psycho” can be compared
•
d aily E gyptian
to “From Under the Cork Tree” because both are lyrically sound. There is something about Stump’s ability to convey emotion through his vocal range that puts the cherry on top of the whole project. Some would say Fall Out Boy has lost their rock band essence with the progression of the new electronic age of music, but they are just putting their spin on what the music industry is becoming. Bands have every right to progress and change, and Fall Out Boy has definitely done so. Nevertheless, the band will indeed be remembered for centuries and should be respected for what they are contributing to modern music.

Salukis share space with public Melanie Early
@MelanieEarly | Daily Egyptian
The Saluki swimming and diving teams share the Recreation Center locker rooms with the public. The teams said they often deal with theft and vandalism because the public has access to the team locker rooms. “[Private locker rooms] would be nice,” coach Rick Walker said. “Simply because of the amount of time that they’re here, and the amount of time that their personal belongings are exposed to other people.” Walker said people have used coat hangers to pull out items from the team’s lockers, including bathing suits that cost hundreds of dollars. Junior swimmer Katy Ovington said team members have had their clothes stolen during practice and had to go home in their wet suits. “It quite often happens in the morning,” Ovington said. “You would
normally think that it wouldn’t happen then since there aren’t as many people coming in, but it does.” Despite the unfortunate situation, Ovington said they are still grateful for the facilities provided. The Salukis have an Olympic-sized pool that they spend more time in than the locker room. Walker said having private locker rooms could help with the recruiting process, but he would rather his recruits not be too concerned about it. “If a locker room is going to be your reason to come here, you are looking at the wrong place and we don’t need you,” Walker said. Freshman swimmer Nolan Hillard said locker rooms had no influence on his decision to join the team. Having a locker to put his belongings in is enough for him. “Whether we have a private locker room or not, it does not change whether they’re
going to try harder,” Walker said. Private locker rooms are not a luxury for every team. Missouri State’s swimming coach Dave Collins said his team has the same issue as SIU. “At our level, there are a number of other groups that use our facility and share space within our aquatics complex,” Collins said. “Including the locker rooms.” SIU unveiled Saluki Way in 2005; an $83 million project to create and renovate Saluki athletic facilities. Walker said he does not think locker rooms for the swim team was ever a part of that plan, but former Athletic Director Mario Moccia discussed the possibilities with him. Since then, the idea has not been brought to anyone’s attention, but Walker said the teams will continue to do what they do best. “Tomorrow they’ll wake up and come in here the same way they always have to work their butts off and try to win,” Walker said.
James Shields remains a free agent, but Royals ‘not sure there’s a fit’ for reunion Andy McCullough The Kansas City Star
In 24 days, the pitchers and catchers of the 2015 Kansas City Royals will convene at the club’s complex in Surprise, Ariz. James Shields, the leader of the rotation the past two seasons, is not expected to be there. This fact should not shock. Yet Shields still remains a free agent, a man without a team, as the season creeps ever closer. The situation has not gone unnoticed to Royals general manager Dayton Moore. While he maintains an affinity for Shields, who revitalized the team’s culture en route to the World Series, Moore expressed doubt about a reunion, even as Shields’ asking price figures to drop. The Royals already flaunt a fully stocked pitching rotation. They doled out a two-year, $20 million contract to Edinson Volquez to plug the hole created
by Shields’ absence. Moore hopes Kris Medlen can contribute by midseason as he rehabilitates from Tommy John surgery. The team’s payroll figures to surpass $110 million, and could finish more than $20 million ahead of last season’s franchise record. To sign Shields, the organization would likely be forced to engineer a series of corollary maneuvers to wedge him into the budget. “I’m not sure there’s a fit at this time,” Moore told The Star in a telephone conversation on Monday. “But who knows?” At this point, the entire industry continues to guess about Shields’ destination. His agent, Page Olde, has ignored media requests for months. Jon Heyman, the dogged baseball columnist for CBS Sports, mentioned in a recent post that Odle had not returned more than 30 text messages. The Star has had similar bad luck. But the consensus culled from
conversations with rival officials is Shields has not found the robust market for his services that was once expected. In the past few weeks, he has been tied to teams like Arizona, Detroit, Miami and St. Louis. Those reports have often been met with denials of interest from team officials. His landing spot remains a mystery. Perhaps Milwaukee will strike late, as they have in years past with pitchers like Kyle Lohse and Matt Garza. Perhaps Toronto will open its wallet. Perhaps Boston will desire a bona fide Opening Day starter. The only likelihood, at this point, is Shields signs for less than expected. At the outset of the offseason, Shields sought at least a five-year contract, according to people familiar with the situation. His resume compares well enough to that of Jon Lester, who cashed in with a six-year, $155 million contract with the Cubs.
When former SIU Athletic Director Mario Moccia left to take the same position at his alma mater New Mexico State, he had to make a few sacrifices, such as the size of his living space. But perhaps the most significant sacrifice he made was leaving his family for a few months. Moccia is living by himself M ario M occia in a three-bedroom apartment in Student Family Housing at New Mexico State in Las Cruces, N.M., 1,239 miles from his wife Heidi and their two daughters, Addie and Gemma, ages 7 and 2 respectively. Heidi and the girls stayed behind in Illinois so Addie could finish the school year before moving to New Mexico. Moccia said his current living arrangement is advantageous for getting settled into his new job. “It’s a whole two minutes away from the office,” Moccia said. “It sure is allowing me to get a ton of work done, so it’s a really good living situation for what I need to be doing right now.” Moccia said his neighbors have not bothered him so far. “I haven’t met any of them,” Moccia said. “I assume I have some, but I haven’t seen them yet.” Although Moccia has been busy in his first few weeks, he has been able to take advantage of technology to keep in touch with his family. “Through the miracle of FaceTime, I can see my wife and my daughters every night and catch up with them,” Moccia said. “So that makes the gap even more manageable.” While Moccia is starting his regime at New Mexico, Heidi has been taking care of the girls and making sure their house in Murphysboro is ready to sell, ushering carpenters and painters in and out for two weeks. “For the first couple weeks, it was pretty chaotic,” Heidi said. “Since then, we’ve been trying to settle into a new normal.” Heidi said one of the biggest changes for her and the girls was getting Addie on the school bus in the morning, which Moccia used to do before he moved. Heidi now has to get Gemma dressed for the winter weather and take Addie to the bus stop. Heidi said Moccia’s absence has taken away someone to give her a break when taking care of their daughters and someone with whom the girls can cuddle, watch TV or throw a ball. She values the family’s FaceTime sessions. “It’s really nice that they get to see him, and he gets to see them,” Heidi said. “Because when they’re young, they change so much. Gemma walks around pointing at the screen and saying ‘Dada,’ and her usual 2-year-old babble. I don’t know what she’s saying, but I’m sure she’s asking ‘Where is he?’” New Mexico State’s men’s basketball team will play at Chicago State and University of Missouri at Kansas City on Feb. 5 and 7. Moccia will make the trip with the Southern Illinois University Carbondale team, and Heidi, Addie and Gemma will take a train to Chicago to see him while he is back in the Midwest. Addie said the first thing she will do when she sees her father is hug him.
